About This Activity
Open Squash’s Junior Program is built around their year-round Junior Academy, which is structured into three skill-level teams: the Green Team (beginners/Bronze level), Blue Team (intermediate), and Red Team (advanced/competitive). Each tier is designed to help kids develop correctly—from serving and returning to movement tactics and match play for tournament preparation.
In addition to the academy, Open Squash offers summer and school-break camps open to kids ages 6–19 of all levels, from total beginners up to tournament-ready players. The camps include a mix of technical instruction, fitness training, match play, and fun activities to keep children engaged—available in both half-day and full-day formats.

Our Take
If your child is interested in a structured athletic program with quality coaching and good facilities in downtown Manhattan, the Open Squash FiDi junior program appears to be a strong option, especially for kids who enjoy sports, competition, and structured skill development.
On the other hand, because peer parent feedback is somewhat limited in depth, you’ll want to ask direct questions about junior-camp specifics: group size, how they handle kids at different ages/levels, beginner vs advanced breakdowns, and how welcoming the social environment is for less-athletic kids. That way you get the best fit for your child’s personality and your family’s expectations.
